Need a whole dark theme! #2414

Open GOgo8Go opened 6 months ago

GOgo8Go commented 6 months ago

Problem: The current theme setting, seems not be able to set the Menu bar, Tool bar and the writing area dark.

It's dazzling, making eyes tired.

Need: A whole dark theme, which means all the UI is dark, like what shows in the picture.

You can go to File->Preferences->Theme and customize colors. If you have Dark Mode enabled in your OS you will have dark windows and main window (writing area) background. Yes, it's not perfect but with dark mode in your OS enabled it works pretty well.

Likewise for windows, for fellow windows users who might search for dark mode and see this, we can have CherryTree that has dark in all four areas shown in this github issue - 1, 2, 3, and 4 all dark. But, we still have a white title bar (2023 february).

For those on windows who would like to get sections 1 and 2 dark (I learned the trick from https://github.com/userfav)

  1. download a dark gtk3 theme. userfav (and myself) use https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1190867
  2. extract zip to C:\Program Files\CherryTree\mingw64\share\themes\ such that the "deepin-dark" main folder you see in the zip is in this directory. So for me I end up with this: image
  3. create C:\Program Files\CherryTree\mingw64\share\gtk-3.0\settings.ini (change path to match yours!!) with the following contents, change to match whatever dark theme you picked: [Settings] gtk-theme-name=deepin-dark
  4. restart cherrytree.

This gets you much closer (you need to pick your own theme for the tree and rich text areas) but we still have a white title bar.. anyway this is much nicer for windows users. enjoy!
